Body Cavity Stuffed With Drugs, Man Turns Himself In To Deputies

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — A man who turned himself in to law enforcement following a warrant out for his arrest was discovered trying to sneak illegal drugs into jail, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office is reporting. Justin Fenn was found yesterday with nearly two ounces of meth and heroin hidden in his body cavity, according to the sheriff's office. Additionally, deputies found tobacco, Suboxone and needles hidden on his person, according to the office.

Fenn had been out of jail with an outstanding warrant, and allegedly hatched the scheme to turn himself in to authorities with the concealed contraband.

"Detectives caught wind of the plan and were ready with a search warrant to x-ray Fenn and eventually retrieved the drugs," the sheriff's office said. "We are grateful that no one was seriously hurt."
